.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The 
.I group_info 
field of an XkbSymMapRec is an encoded value containing the number of groups of 
symbols bound to the 
key as well as the specification of the treatment of out-of-range groups. It is 
legal for a key to 
have zero groups, in which case it also has zero symbols and all events from 
that key yield NoSymbol. 
To obtain the number of groups of symbols bound to the key, use 
.I XkbKeyNumGroups. 
To change the number of groups bound to a key, use 
.I XkbChangeTypesOfKey. 
To obtain a mask that determines the treatment of out-of-range groups, use
.I XkbKeyGroupInfo 
and 
.I XkbOutOfRangeGroupInfo.

The keyboard controls contain a 
.I groups_wrap 
field specifying the handling of illegal groups on a global basis. That is, when 
the user performs an 
action causing the effective group to go out of the legal range, the 
.I groups_wrap 
field specifies how to normalize the effective keyboard group to a group that is 
legal for the 
keyboard as a whole, but there is no guarantee that the normalized group will be 
within the range of 
legal groups for any individual key. The per-key 
.I group_info 
field specifies how a key treats a legal effective group if the key does not 
have a type specified for 
the group of concern. For example, the Enter key usually has just one group 
defined. If the user 
performs an action causing the global keyboard group to change to Group2, the 
.I group_info 
field for the Enter key describes how to handle this situation.

Out-of-range groups for individual keys are mapped to a legal group using the 
same options as are used 
for the overall keyboard group. The particular type of mapping used is 
controlled by the bits set in 
the 
.I group_info 
flag, as shown in Table 1.

.\"--- Chapter 10
The Xkb extension is composed of two parts: a server extension, and a 
client-side X library extension. 
This chapter discusses functions used to modify controls effecting the behavior 
of the server portion 
of the Xkb extension. X Library Controls discusses functions used to modify 
controls that affect only 
the behavior of the client portion of the extension; those controls are known as 
Library Controls.

Xkb contains control features that affect the entire keyboard, known as global 
keyboard controls. Some 
of the controls may be selectively enabled and disabled; these controls are 
known as the 
.I Boolean Controls. 
Boolean Controls can be turned on or off under program control and can also be 
automatically set to an 
on or off condition when a client program exits. The remaining controls, known 
as the 
.I Non-Boolean Controls, 
are always active. The XkbControlsRec structure describes the current state of 
most of the global 
controls and the attributes effecting the behavior of each of these Xkb 
features. This chapter 
describes the Xkb controls and how to manipulate them.

There are two possible components for each of the Boolean Controls: attributes 
describing how the 
control should work, and a state describing whether the behavior as a whole is 
enabled or disabled. 
The attributes and state for most of these controls are held in the 
XkbControlsRec structure.

You can manipulate the Xkb controls individually, via convenience functions, or 
as a whole. To treat 
them as a group, modify an XkbControlsRec structure to describe all of the 
changes to be made, and 
then pass that structure and appropriate flags to an Xkb library function, or 
use a 
XkbControlsChangesRec to reduce network traffic. When using a convenience 
function to manipulate one 
control individually, you do not use an XkbControlsRec structure directly.

The Xkb controls are grouped as shown in Table 2.
